A New York Police Department (NYPD) executive, while addressing the media, said, 'There is zero tolerance for these senseless shootings. It is a horrible act of violence on our streets, and those responsible for this crime will be apprehended and brought to justice... On January 1, at approximately 11:18, the NYPD received multiple calls reporting several people shot here.”

He said that the initial investigation revealed approximately 90 people were inside the venue, with a queue of 15 people outside waiting for others to exit.

“Three to four men opened fire more than thirty times in the direction of a group standing outside the venue, striking multiple victims. Officers responding to the 911 calls found a total of ten victims, including six males and four females, who were taken to area hospitals. All victims are expected to recover with non-life-threatening injuries,” the executive added.

The incident coincided with a deadly attack in New Orleans on New Year's Day, where 15 were killed and more than 30 injured when a vehicle rammed into a crowd.

Footage shared on Citizen App showed a large police and ambulance presence outside the club. Amazura, known for its spacious interior that can accommodate up to 4,000 people, frequently hosts DJs and live events.

Police exchanged gunfire with the suspect, 42-year-old Shamsud Din Jabbar, who was fatally shot during the confrontation, sources told the New York Times.

In Las Vegas, a Tesla Cybertruck rented via Turo caught fire outside the Trump International Hotel on Wednesday morning. The explosion resulted in one death and seven injuries, with authorities investigating it as a potential act of terrorism.
